Workplace Analysis For Office Design and Planning
Analysis that suits you
Working together for the best start to your project
Poorly-designed offices can have a significant impact on your employees, which means less motivation and an unhappy team. Numerous studies have found that productivity in the workplace can be directly linked to office design, meaning that, as an employer, you could be affecting your own business.
Our experienced team is well-versed in working with our clients, setting them at ease about expressing their thoughts, concerns, or ideas, and making sure that their voice is heard. Work with your staff and see what ideas they have. After all, they will be using the space and are your most valuable asset.
Our approach
Our simple step-by-step creative process for ensuring the perfect workplace
Our team explores office design ideas and office space planning with you to identify the best solution. Working in close collaboration, we can provide the personalised care you need.
Spatial Requirements
Understanding spatial requirements and allocating available space; it’s an art form in itself.
Luckily for you, it’s one of our specialties!
Working, waiting, breaks, meetings, storage, amenities –each aspect will be considered, and you’ll be provided with a detailed analytical study determining how much space you need and the best way to achieve it.
Furniture & Technology
How do you work? ‘Agile’ working practices have increased in popularity, demanding working environments that cater for flexibility.
Furniture and technology are crucial to support agile working. The design team are constantly researching systems that improve the workplace.
We’ll incorporate the right furniture and technologies for your individual business.
Project Planning & Costs
A successful project encompasses much more than an aesthetically pleasing design and layout.
At the forefront of every job is its own individual budget and time-frame. Meeting the brief, cost and deadline should and will dictate how your project is planned.
We will break down every stage of the project for you, providing a clear estimation of overall costs and program.
Legislation & Building Control
How suitable is your existing premises? Let us assess the accessibility and COVID-19 ready status of your current layout, addressing the need for any alterations.
We can guide you through the process of making your offices comply with government guidelines while identifying any further issues, such as accessibility.
At DSP, we can organise all Building Control and Planning Applications.
Think new, with unique office design ideas
Your office should be unique to your company’s needs, making the space efficient, comfortable, and practical for everyone.
Our workplace analysis will consider what is and isn’t working, how to maximise space, and create an appropriate decor that fits your requirements.
Having worked on a number of different office designs, nothing is too big or too small for our designers. By determining your wish list before we start planning, we ensure we are able to meet those needs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Why collaboration is key to successful office design
The best office design projects come from close collaboration between clients, employees, and designers. We believe in building partnerships, not just projects. By listening to your goals and involving staff in the process, we ensure the final workspace not only looks great but also functions effectively for the people who use it every day.
A collaborative approach means fewer surprises, faster results, and a workplace design that reflects your brand identity and culture.
Tailored office design for every business
No two businesses are the same, and neither should their offices be. We design for your specific needs, whether that’s:
- Agile office layouts that support hybrid and flexible working.
- Biophilic design that brings natural light, plants, and textures into the workspace.
- Collaborative zones for brainstorming, meetings, and teamwork.
- Quiet areas for focused individual work.
- Client-facing spaces that create a professional and welcoming first impression.
Our proven office design process
To give you confidence at every step, our process is structured but flexible:
- Consultation and briefing – Understanding your needs, culture, and budget.
- Workplace analysis – Identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities in your current space.
- Concept design – Generating ideas, layouts, and mood boards to visualise possibilities.
- Detailed planning – Space planning, CAD drawings, and specifications.
- Collaboration and feedback – Refining the design with your input.
- Final design and approval – Ready for fit-out and implementation.
This approach ensures your new workspace is functional, inspiring, and fully aligned with your business strategy.
The benefits of a well-designed workspace
Investing in professional office design has long-term payoffs, including:
- Increased employee productivity and motivation.
- Better staff retention and satisfaction.
- A stronger company culture and brand identity.
